Was about to take my break when I heard the familiar voice of That Coworker in the break room, on her own break, which frankly baffled me because I know her schedule and she should have had her break an hour ago but whatever.
Which is fine, because I didn’t really bring a lunch, so it was a perfect excuse to run to the local convenience store that has these pretzel bread sandwiches that are undoubtedly terrible but I still love.
Waiting in line, zoning out as one does, instinctively bopping along to the store’s music since it was a familiar jam, even though there was a vague sensation of “something is wrong here.”
That’s because the music blaring out was Hyuna’s “Troublemaker.” I swear I’ve never heard kpop in this store before, but when I jokingly asked the cashier who decides on the music, he (a very white boy) chirped out “I do!”
K-pop fandom is everywhere y’all.
